Short summary
The SLA data from Jason-2 have been reprocessed and extended towards the coast of the Red Sea. The new extended data at the coast are more consistent with the CTD-derived geostrophic currents (GCs). The GCs in summer flow southward over the Red Sea except along the east coast. In winter, the flow is northward for the entire Red Sea except for a small southward flow near the central coast. This flow is modified by the presence of cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies.
